When he returned to the small trailer, Zhang Chi wanted to see his pasture, but he got in the car and drove for a while before turning back because he felt that the ground was a bit muddy and he was afraid that if he went further, the car would get stuck in this place.
If you want to find a trailer or something, you don’t even have to think about it, just a few calves will be done for you.
With nothing to do, Zhang Chi returned to the small trailer. He sat there for a while and then went back to take a nap. When he opened his eyes again, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
When we got out of the trailer, the small pasture was brightly illuminated by the big moon outside.
Fry a piece of steak with onions and put two small potatoes on it while roasting. This is Zhang Chi's dinner.
While eating dinner, Zhuo Chi sacrificed the gourd.
As soon as he thought about it, the gourd disappeared, leaving a faint shadow hanging in the air that only he could see.
Zhuo Chi still hasn't figured out what is going on with this gourd, but he just thinks about it and forgets it. With such a big treasure in hand and knowing so clearly what to do, is it possible that he is planning to take the Ph.D. exam?
There is a small folding table in the square, with a small lantern placed in the corner of the table. The light of the lantern can only illuminate an area of less than four or five square meters. Zhang Chi, who is in the modern era, seems to have lived a long time ago.
The moonlight is very good. The huge moon hangs in the sky, so bright, as if it is very close to people, so close that people feel that they can reach it by raising their hands.
Not to mention the air in the mountainous area, it is fresh and moist with the smell of forest.
If it is daytime, when you look up, you can see the age-old snow on the distant peaks, hanging on the top of the mountain like a white hat.
As for other places, it is not only green, but also green, with boundless forests surrounding farms and pastures.
Although the conditions are difficult, Zhang Chi feels extremely calm at the moment. This is the first time he has been so calm since coming to the United States. He doesn't know whether he finally has a place that he can pass on to his descendants or something.
Yes, Zhang Chi had just one word in his mind: Comfortable!
However, this comfort was soon broken, because some small bugs followed the light and flew around the small table. Some bold ones even stopped directly on the small table, or even beside Zhang Chi's plate.
Go up, it seems that you want to enjoy this dinner with Zhuo Chi.
Zhang Chi raised his hand to rush away, but when he put his hand down, these shameless gangsters came over again, making Zhang Chi extremely unhappy.
At this moment, Zhang Chi had forgotten that he asked Gourd to protect him when he was drunk. He did not remember that Gourd had a particularly magical trick.
With the addition of these little bugs, Zhang Chi had to finish his meal quickly and then got into his small RV.
The temperature was not high at this time, about five or six degrees Celsius, so he had to cover himself with a quilt when sleeping. However, Zhang Chi did not sleep. Instead, he turned on his computer and started surfing the Internet on his connected mobile phone.
Of course he wasn't playing games, he was reading information online to see if there were any cattle for sale nearby recently.
There is a lot of such information. As an agricultural and animal husbandry state, such information can be found everywhere on the Internet, but many of them are large transactions. Zhang Chi can only take a look at it now.
Cows are also expensive. An expensive cow can be sold for millions, while a low-priced cow only costs two or three hundred. They are also cattle, and they are just like people. Some people are born on the finish line, and some are born to suffer.
After turning over some useful information, Zhang Chi wrote it down in his notebook, preparing to go pick the cows when the time came.
After working until late at night, Zhang Chi yawned and felt sleepy before closing his laptop, climbing into the car and getting ready to sleep.
As soon as I lay down and closed my eyes, an inappropriate sound came into my ears.
Ouch~~!
Ouch~~!
Zhang Chi was no stranger to this kind of howling sound. It was the sound made by the North American gray wolf.
The North American gray wolf is the largest wolf on earth. An adult North American gray wolf can reach two meters in length and weigh up to 80 kilograms, which is almost the weight of an adult.
This thing has no natural enemies except humans in North America.
This thing was extinct before, but then the Americans were unwilling to invite these guys back. This invitation was good at first, but then the population became large, and American farmers and ranchers couldn't stand it, because
It is impossible to say that this thing will let go of the cattle and sheep in the pasture just because it is raised.
As for combat effectiveness?
This thing can hunt bison!
All dogs are sluggish in front of it, and even some hounds don't dare to get close to them unless their owners are nearby, and will turn upside down at the first smell.
At the same time, this guy is also an old rival of the Western Cowboys.
Hearing the howl of wolves did not make Zhang Chi's nerves any more tense. Not to mention here, it was too common even in Folsom at night. He listened to a few times and then put the quilt over his head.
Watch the gourd!
As soon as the thought came together, Zhang Chi was ready to take a deep sleep.
But soon Zhang Chi found that he couldn't sleep anymore. He didn't know whether it was because he slept too much in the afternoon or something else. After closing his eyes for a while, all the sleepiness disappeared.
After lighting the pony lantern again, Zhang Chi lay half-lying on the bed and started to watch short videos.
When it comes to watching short videos, Zhang Chi is the kind of person who only watches and talks, and doesn’t care about current affairs.
He himself also understands that his position in life is that of an ordinary person. To put it plainly, he is the small denominator in society. He cannot decide any big things. In the end, he has to live his own life. Worrying about mundane things such as three meals a day is not so high.
On the spiritual level, no matter where you are, you have to rely on your own diligence to make a living.
Zhang Chi's favorite game is Warcraft, an old game. Zhang Chi is not good at playing it. 1V1 computers sometimes overturn, but the more good he is, the more he likes to watch others play.
He didn't know how long he had been scrolling, but Zhang Chi felt sleepy, so he put down his phone and turned off the lantern. After a while, he heard the sound of even breathing, and fell asleep deeply.
When I opened my eyes again, a ray of sunlight had shined through the small window on the bedside. The sunlight projected a light body through the window, and small smoke seemed to rise from within the light body.
Zhang Chi opened his eyes and looked at the scene. He looked at it beautifully for a long time. He had never felt that he was living so securely in more than ten years. In the past, he had already been busy with his uncle and aunt, either buying or choosing vegetables.
, busy from dark till late at night, every day, only during the Lunar New Year can I rest.
Many Americans say that the wages here in the United States are high, the treatment is good, and they don’t work overtime. They do whatever they want when they work overtime. Only when you really live here will you know. They are not saying that there is no such thing, but that ordinary people simply enjoy it.
Don't get such treatment.
It’s the minimum wage. Zhang Chi doesn’t know about other places, but it’s not very useful around here anyway.
A cowboy who works for someone on a ranch usually only earns a thousand dollars a month, so why not do it? Well, some unidentified Lao Mo or other Latinos are willing to do it, and it's cheaper.
I don’t know about other places, but in a ranch near Folsom, where food and accommodation are included, the average cowboy’s salary is more than eight hundred dollars. When you are busy, you may get a little more, but after one thousand, it is the end.
How many tens of thousands can you earn per year by serving plates in a restaurant? Just listen to this. The family income of the middle class is only tens of thousands of dollars per year. How can you serve a plate? Then how high-end a restaurant do you have to serve this plate?
Zhang Chi has always held this mentality. As a low-level worker, if you want to live with a little dignity, you have to keep yourself busy.
If you don't have that fate and still want to live a comfortable life, whether in China or the United States, taking a bowl to the street is what this type of person should do.
After looking at the sunlight for a while, he put his hand in and saw the sunlight shining through his palm, making it appear red. Zhang Chi felt that he was living so real at this moment.
After lying on the bed for more than half an hour, he got out of bed. After washing up, Zhang Chi put on his coat and shoes. He looked at his watch and found that it was almost noon, so he decided to drive out.
Go to the small bars in town and have a look.
When you play European and American games, you find that many tasks are answered in small bars, and many things can be learned in small bars. This is the cultural difference. The status of bars in American social life is quite high.
For a cowboy, a bar may be the best feedback from life after a busy day.
After driving to the small town, Zhang Chi stopped at the door of the small bar and found that the bar was not open yet, so he continued to drive along the road.
In the west, if you want to go shopping in the supermarket or buy some uncommon supplies, it is normal to drive for thirty or forty minutes.
There is no such thing as raising your feet and walking to the supermarket downstairs, turning your face and walking to the cinema. It is normal to spend more than an hour on the road to do these things.
Zhang Chi drove back to Folsom, where he had lived for more than ten years. Zhang Chi knew the streets here better than the hair on his arms.
Head directly to the denim supply store.
"Chi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't order takeout today."
The shop owner was about to put things on the shelves when he saw Zhang Chi opening the door and coming in and said with a smile.
The shop owner and Zhang Chi are old acquaintances, because he often eats takeout from Zhuo Youliangjia Restaurant, and Zhang Chi delivers it every time. This delivery has lasted for several years, and the two of them have become familiar with each other even though they are introverts.
Zhang Chi said: "I'm not here to deliver food. Now my brother is doing the food delivery work in the store. Now I have bought a small pasture to raise cattle."
"ok!"
The shopkeeper replied with a smile.
Becoming a rancher would definitely be better than serving dishes in a restaurant, so the shop owner said a few blessings.
"What are you going to pick?" the shop owner asked.
"I want to choose riding boots, the kind that can be used for working on the ranch," Zhang Chi said.
After hearing this, the shop owner stretched his head and glanced at the sneakers on Zhang Chi's feet, and said with a smile: "You really need it. Wear these to work in the pasture. If there are bugs or something, I will give you a break.
You can bear it as much as you can...".
What is the most common thing in the pasture?
Some people say it's grass. Yes, there is a lot of grass, but there are also bugs hidden under the grass. Some bugs are very powerful. If you are bitten by them, the itching will be unstoppable for several days, and in severe cases, you will have to go to the hospital to lie down.
It wasn't impossible some time ago.
"You're not dressed the way you are. Dressed like this, you won't be able to do a day's work on the ranch. It's necessary to put on a thicker coat and jeans..." The shopkeeper started talking to Zhang Chi.
"I have jeans, but I just want to buy some riding boots," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Zhang Chi is also half a Folsomite, so he naturally knows that farmers and ranchers don’t dress to look handsome. In fact, using the word handsome on cowboys is something that happens in movies. Cowboys dress up to protect themselves and make themselves more attractive.
Good job.
Wear high-top riding boots with jeans, and then tuck the trousers into the riding boots to prevent insects, or if you accidentally step in the grass, and there is a snake coiled in the grass, strong riding boots and thick jeans are what cowboys are looking for.
The small armor can offset part of the damage.
No matter how hot it is, the wrist buttons of cowboy shirts are buttoned up. It is rare to see cowboys rolling up their sleeves and grazing. The first reason is to prevent sunburn, and the second is to prevent collisions at work. At the same time, when riding horses in the forest,
Prevent branches from cutting your arms.
Zhang Chi already had jeans and a thick coat, but what he lacked now was a pair of riding boots.
The shopkeeper asked Zhang Chi about his shoe size, took a pair of riding boots from the shelf, and motioned Zhang Chi to go to the boot-changing stool to put on the boots.
